Anita, I spotted this - it seems to be the same shape as your vase.  It has no trailed rim, but does have the filigrana and a fairly different colour with the pale ochre and white spirals, so I just wondered whether this might help id your vase?  There is a clichy rose from a paperweight in that book, that seems to be the same colours of the ochre and white if that helps at all.

Ivo, looking again at the few vases in the Cristallerie Clichy book online (not many viewable though), the bottom of your vase and the foot look different to those even though they seem to have a similar shape - obviously they aren't the only ones Clichy made, but just an observation that struck me whilst looking at them again.

Just found this thread again as I've bought a small quite different shaped jug to add to the list in plain opaline with red trailed rim and have been trying to id it.  :)

this one is id'd as Clichy by Black Country Museums here in the UK.  It is the same shape but measures 12.7cm whereas yours is 14cm.  This one also doesn't have the trailed rim.

I bought this vase recently, sold as a Clichy miniature.

Height just under 4" / 10cm
Polished pontil.
Quite heavy for size approx. 158gm

There are 37 pages (large) of filigrana glass in the Clichy book and none have this type of decor.  There are 3 vases in this 'kind of' shape but none the same.

There is one item in this technique in the book Baguiers et Verre a Boire du XIXeme siecle on page 183 plate 141.
It is a beaker in a beige yellow filigrana alternating with white and with the ribbed external technique - identified as Saint-Louis.

All 3 bought in just over a week in 3 different shops in 2 different towns.

About 3.25"
The little jug seems to be cased in clear glass and has a polished pontil and base.

Do the two vase type shapes have a small polished pontil mark as well?

I can find a match to the right hand canes, but not the one in the middle or the left.

On very close inspection I would say both have a well polished pontil.
